Alanya, the first city in Turkey to host the Volleyball World Beach Pro Tour, is already a candidate to become one of the leading centers of international beach volleyball. Furthermore, with sustainable and comprehensive investments planned for Alanya in the near future, the city is counting down the days to earn the title of being the Mediterranean's leading destination for Olympic sports.

"So we learn from the article that Alanya's official volleyball caravan started way back in 1993. I'd say you're actually late building this kind of "caravanserai" 🤔 But you know what they say: Better late than never 👍 Perfect facility, perfect organization!"

"Bir öncekinde yıldız verdirmedi. Sırf Alanyamıza beşinci yıldızı takmak için girdim. Alanyasporumuza da ilk yıldızın geleceği günlerin umuduyla... Beş yıldızlı Alanya'ya beş yıldız veriyorum! Ama burada yıldız vardı gülen surata dönmüş. Bizim yüzümüz gülüyor merak etmeyin, siz yine yıldız yapın onları 😉"

"Alanyamıza helal olsun! Bir Oba'lı olarak semtimde dünya çapında ilkleri barındıran böylesi bir tesisin olması ne büyük nimet! Alanyalı gençlerimizi sporla buluşturması ayrı, spor turizmiyle Alanyamıza katkı sağlaması ayrı güzel. Allah yapandan, yaptırandan bin kez razı olsun. "
